I love BF 15 day old DS2 and I'm so happy we have managed to do BF this far as DS1 didn't even manage one feed. The problem is that within a few days I had blisters and was bleeding each feed - lansinoh applied, latch checked and rechecked, nipple shields useless, and two weeks later I'm still REALLY sore!
At the moment I'm expressing half the feeds and giving them by bottle (no confusion whatsoever - he's just interested in whatever the milk comes from!) which is fine but I physically recoil at the thought of the next 'real' BF. If it's only going to last a few more weeks I think I can manage but if not...
So when can I expect it to get better or does it ever?
